Then, she gathered with 13 other contestants to participate in round one of the contest on Thursday, Nov 10th. Ten contestants moved on to round two held on Saturday, November 12th and then the six finalists, including Scarlett, gave amazing performances during the final round held on Sunday, November 13th at which time the winner was announced. Second place winner was Reallymad Morpork (Mick); Third place went to Evely Lane and Honorable Mention was JLively.

SL’s GOT TALENT (SLGT) Contest was created and organized by Jackie Lefko 4 years ago. After debuting several new SL performers at her venue, the Speakeasy, Jackie’s brain started churning and Voila – the birth of SLGT in 2013. She felt a contest would be a great opportunity for those looking for a unique opportunity to not only showcase their talent but to also engage in a personal challenge.
